a question i pose to all of you: do you wear winter white? i really do love the color – it’s so elegant, timeless, classic. just look at the duchess in it! (i know, i’m 100% obsessed with her, sorry)
i think it’s a particularly fantastic color for brunettes – they really do just glow! here’s some more winter white inspiration to tickle your fancy! will you try the color combo or is it already a winter must-have for you?
twenty-thirteen is upon us. here’s to a happy, healthy and resolution-sticking new year to you and yours! xoxo
especially now that we’ve hit the 21st and the world has not ended, we can march our way towards christmas. that means (vegan) egg nog, yummy cookies, fun gift-giving and family. oh, and of course christmas sweaters.
here are some cheeky sweaters especially perfect in the weekend leading up to christmas! do you rock a christmas sweater annually?
i love kate middleton’s style – the princess/duchess is most definitely in my top 3 on my style icons list. eh, she might even be number one. i think she’s fantastic. she’s timeless. she’s trendy. she’s classy and graceful – all the things i want to be – ha 🙂
the duchess’ signature color has been navy blue because of her engagement ring, so when she wears color i just swoon. also when she wears anything that isn’t a dress or a skirt, but i digress.
here we have some inspiration for a holiday look – a little pop of color a la kate middelton – plus the dresses to get close to the look!
i love this rich purple on kate – pair this dress (very reasonably priced at $63 from KOHLS! (i know!)) with a sparkly brooch and pull your hair back. elegant for the in-laws, definitely. (ps i saw this dress in the store and it is much closer to the color of the dress kate is wearing than the picture would have you think)
i also loved this soft purple alexander mcqueen dress kate wore last year. so soft and feminine.
most of us don’t get to wear a ballgown very often, so here is a shorter and much more affordable (on sale for $80!) kate-inspired frock. pair with tights, pumps and a black velvet jacked for a holiday-ready look.
yesterday i talked about my new color obsession – emerald. it is still here today and i’m obsessing over this color as i plan holiday outfits (yes, these situations need much prior planning). here are my favorite picks for holiday dresses and nail polish to get this color trend right now:
i’m all about finishing off an outfit with a necklace. to me, it’s the most obvious accessory to add to your look that adds that finishing touch showing you put just a smidge extra effort in.
i am also all about anything that sparkles, shimmers or glitters. seriously – if it does any of those things, i’ll take two. here are my favorite necklaces that will add some sparkle to your look this holiday season – for less!
i love red. i love it year round. i especially love it in the winter. what colors do you love this time of year?
every year, we see lot’s of fur coming out for late fall and winter – i mean, it does keep you warm! i love this trend every winter, it just never gets old for me. i think it’s a little hollywood glamour without all the cruelty.
just look at marilyn monroe, stepping off a plane in a fur coat. there is something so glamorous about being wrapped up in fur!
here are some of my favorite picks for this year. what about you? is this a do or don’t? (we’re talking fake fur, people!)
as you know, i’m definitely into tights and dresses and skirts this season. i went with a bold pop of color today wearing purple tights 
with a monochromatic palette. i softened the boldness with a light colored coat since my first foray into colored tights felt a little risky.
you can’t really tell from this picture but the coat is a soft turquoise which i liked with the purple pop. it felt very kate spade to me – that kate-spade-classic with all sorts of pops of color. who knows, maybe someday i’ll try this with a colored top, too!
what do you think? colored tights – yay or nay?
here’s how to get the same look quickly and easily:
the best friend. the best friend is my favorite person to shop for – why? ’cause it’s my best friend! i always opt for things that would make her feel special. here are my picks for this year:
